Topic: OON Substance Abuse (Read 1525 times)

We just brought billing in-house and I have some questions about how to bill for OON substance abuse (bought the book and it didn't answer these):

1. If we are a free-standing facility that provides sub-acute detox, RTC, PHP, and IOP, are we considered a "residential" treatment center or an "outpatient" one since our services fall under both camps? 2. What bill type should we be using for these higher levels of care?3. What bill type should we be using for lesser ancillary charges like therapy, case management, psych assessment etc?4. What bill type should we be using for labs like UA and breathalyzers?5. Has anyone had trouble with 80300/300 for UA?6. Has anyone figured out how to get Viant (3PP) to price at higher than like 40 or 50% of billed charges?
